Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Weightless Moisturizer SPF 50 27 ingredients
Best sunscreen I’ve ever used, and perhaps my favourite skincare product ever, period. I love its light, fresh smell and how deeply hydrating it is. It leaves my skin feeling firm and supple at the same time, and imbues it with an instant glow and brightness that lasts for the entire day. This will definitely be my go-to cold weather sunscreen from now on—could not recommend this more.
Got this version after the Japanese 2017 one, and I like it way less. It is lighter, less oily and smells like citrus (which I dislike). In general, I think it still does its job well, but it's a worse fit for me.
